Growing up, Ben Solo had never really given much thought to what Hell might look like. Never particularly saw the point in dwelling on something so abstract as that when he had textbooks and professors to tell him that all biological matter, at the end of the proverbial day, just reentered the cycle. It was enough for him, an answer wholly cut and dry by science. Which was why the young man never, in a million years, would have guessed that Hell would be filled with the soft bubble of birdsong and golden sun slanting across overgrown buildings. No, if it weren’t for the fact that the last ten years had been nothing short of hellish, Ben may never have known that this was Hell.

But he does. He can smell it on the air, in the way the breeze strokes the smell of ash and blood into his nose; see it in the cordite under ragged fingernails and the spores that hang in still, shadowy air. Yes, Ben muses as he follows his father through the street, shotgun over one shoulder and eyes sharp at the edges, this is certainly hell. They’ve been on the move since the sun cleared the skyline, slanting harsh rays over Boston’s skeleton, driven across the quarantine zone by the ghost at their backs and the promise of a deal gone right ahead of them.

Traversing the city is slow going, an exercise in patience; a commodity both men are admittedly short on. Ben can feel his anxiety like a knife between his third and fourth rib, digging in a little bit more with every step they take through the unprotected cityscape. Quarantine zones like this are bad news, too many people too close to one another, a breeding ground for mob mentality and other, more dangerous, things.

Ben has learned a lot of things in the last ten years: how to fashion a Molotov cocktail with one hand, the basics of field medicine, how to grieve without making a sound, but most importantly, he’s learned that high concentrations of population are nearly never good. Proof of this comes within the next fifteen minutes, swaying softly in the unsettled afternoon air. His father pauses, glances back at Ben with knit brows before up into the boughs of the old oak above them and the two bodies that hang from its largest branch.

“Should we cut them down?” Han asks, fingers dancing along the hilt of the Bowie knife he’s got strapped to his thigh. Ben follows his gaze, fixes on the weathered pair of boots closest to the two of them; military issued, standard fare, almost definitely stolen. There’s nothing to be gained by cutting the pair of looters down, and judging by the care taken to sever the carotid, Ben thinks it might be a safer idea to just leave them be.

“Look at the throat,” Ben says, shouldering past his father to take the lead, ears flushing when he steps out from beneath the tree’s shadow and into the unforgiving August sun. He hears Han give a soft noise of confirmation, and then the familiar sound of his father’s handgun chambering. A mosquito, fat with blood and eagerly rubbing its forelimbs, lands on Ben’s arm as his father draws up behind him. The second to last Solo eyes the insect warily, pausing only a second to cast a quick glance at their surroundings before killing it.

That night, as they camp on the rooftop of one of the dilapidated brick buildings, his father disassembles the ’45 he’d carried for the last decade, eyes heavy as he sets about meticulously cleaning the firearm. It’s been a week since they’d heard from the man paid to smuggle their latest shipment of goods through the southern gate, and each day of silence weighs heavier on Ben’s shoulders. They’re set to arrive at the drop point tomorrow afternoon, exactly on time, and if the rat-like man isn’t there, Ben’s sure it can only mean one thing. Clearly dwelling on the same thoughts, Han slides the bolt back into place with a metallic snap and fixes his son with gunpowder eyes.

“We know where he’s based out of,” Ben nods, thinks of the day and a half it’ll take them to get there on foot, granted they don’t run into any obstacles. “If he’s dead, we let his crew know. If he’s decided to cross us.” Stony faced, Han loads a magazine of hollow tips into the pistol, and lets the following silence speak for itself.

Sleep hasn’t once come easy to Ben in the last ten years. There are too many ghosts when he closes his eyes: the smell of cordite igniting in damp air, his mother’s laugh, warm and bright on his eighteenth birthday, the sound of rain on the roof of his childhood home. Too many reasons to sit with his back to the wall, count the rise and fall of his father’s chest from across the fire, and wish that the cicadas would just  _ stop  _ so he could keep a proper ear out. Daytime is dangerous in its own right, Ben has learned; sun beating down upon his back as he crouches behind the carcass of a car, listening to the measured staccato of military boots pass him by. But in his experience, it’s the deceptive kind of calm that falls with the night that kills (kills with clicking and screaming and the sound of shots fired entirely too late). Ben doesn’t know when, exactly he drifts off, but all too soon he’s waking to the sound of boots scuffing out the embers of their fire, and Han packing up camp in the pre-dawn light.

“Let’s go, kid. We’ve got some ground to cover.”

As sunlight pours in earnest over the teeth of broken buildings, the pair of smugglers close in on the last few, meager kilometers between them and their target. Han cracks his neck, pulls his jacket open to check on the status of the magazines strapped into the lining, and Ben follows suit, first checking the handgun as his hip (three rounds left in the first mag, one full mag in his pack), then the shotgun on his back (two slugs, one round of birdshot, nothing in his pack). It’s not a lot, but properly used it’ll do.

They enter the camp with fingers on their respective triggers, boots kicking up plumes of dirt where they land. Han’s in the lead, greying hair glinting almost as silver as his pistol in the harsh sunlight, Ben follows, eyes scanning the buildings above them for signs of movement (finds none, doesn’t let his heart rate slow). The man who rushes out to meet them baseball bat in hand, looks harried, clearly not in any place of authority.

“Where’s JD?” his father asks over the top of his .45, and the grunt just shakes his head. Han glowers, taking a threatening step forward as he repeats, “I said, where’s JD?” Ben can hear the tension in his words, how his already gravelly voice goes even rougher at the sound of a gun being chambered to their left.

Ben swears in the same second that Han shoots, and the next thing he knows they’re in a full-on firefight. As it stands, they’re outnumbered two to six, but as his father takes out the first man, and Ben drops another with a well-placed bullet to the kidney, it becomes abundantly clear that these are relatively untrained grunts. Holstering his pistol with a snarl, Ben reaches into his pocket, producing a shiv that catches the strident afternoon sun. His father’s already a step ahead of him, both physically and in the sense that he’s already snatched a metal pipe from the man Ben had shot earlier. Together they follow the remaining four into the crumbling brick building JD had claimed as his base.

It’s there, among the shadows and still air that send Ben’s hackles rising, that they find the trampled piece of paper. Ben stares at the First Order insignia that shines through the other side of it while Han summarizes the note aloud, anger nearly palpable in the mildewing hideaway.

“He’s offloading them tonight at the central subway station.” Ben anxiously runs his fingers over the gas mask on his hip. “It’s definitely our merchandise he’s dealing, judging by the weight.” His mind is already spinning a plan into reality, even as his father continues to peruse the dirty slip of paper; there should be enough time for them to take what they can from this base, eat, and still make it to the station with more than enough time to intercept the drop. Han folds the note, tucks it into the front pocket of his worn leather pants, and sighs.

“Let’s see what they’ve left for us, huh?”

When they’re done combing the camp, sweaty and out of breath, Ben’s found four slugs, a .32 that’s in impressive condition, two fresh shivs, and a new gasmask that he carefully packs away for later use. Han’s come away with much the same fare, and together they parse out the weight between sun bleached packs as they eat; Ben watches as a carpenter ant is attacked by two of its own kind, dispassionately chewing as the miniature battle plays out before his eyes. Before it can end, he takes pity, reaching one foot out to crush all three insects beneath the worn tread of his boot. At his father’s suggestion, Ben finishes his rationed food and tucks himself into the shade that lingers up against cool brick to steal a few scant hours of sleep before they move out.

Night falls, oppressive and hot, and Ben forces his shoulders to relax as they steal through the abandoned streets. The quarantine zone is eerily silent, lit only by what beams from the half-moon manage to filter through the gaping maw of the skyline to fall across their path. Ben moves silently, a skill honed out of necessity, and the basic human instinct to  _ survive _ . They’re a block and a half away from the entrance to the subway when Han holds his hand out, halting ben in his tracks. There’s no need to communicate, both men keenly aware of the voices that float down the otherwise abandoned street towards them. Darting across the street and back into the cover provided by the once beautiful buildings, Han and Ben carry on until they’re only a matter of meters from the stairs that descend into the subway system (Ben inhales deeply, feels his stomach clench at the smell of mold that wafts up from beneath the street).

“Shoulda known you two would be up my ass.” JD’s stuttering voice breaks the silence with all the power of a round fired. He’s standing on top of a car just down the street from the subway entrance, polished .45 in one hand and shit eating grin splashed across his crooked face. There are three men with him, lined up in front of the car, with arms folded over their chests and pistols strapped to their thighs. Ben doesn’t like it, senses somewhere beneath his occipital ridge that this situation is already far, far out of their control.

“Where’s our merchandise, JD?” Han growls, wholly undeterred by the imbalance of power and teetering just on the edge of violence.

“See,” the greasy man across from them grins through his halting speech, hopping down from the car with a muffled thud to stride forwards, crew in tow. “The thing about your merchandise is that I’ve already sold it.” 

 

Ben snarls, moves to shoulder past his father and take out the pathetic rat with his own goddamn hands, security detail be damned when two additional men step around from behind the car, preceded by the long muzzles of hunting rifles.

“Can’t letcha go.” JD struggles not to stutter over the words, hands far steadier than his voice as he raises the glinting handgun towards Ben’s chest. “Not with what you and your pops know about my professional life.”

Both Solos tense, the only sound in the entire street their quickly escalating breathing. It’s five against two, nearly impossible odds; especially when two of the five are armed with such high power weapons, and Ben feels his chest start to go tight with the familiar clutch of desperation. Han must be thinking much the same thing, as Ben watches his fingers clench and unclench around the textured material of his pistol grip. The silence that had been pressing so heavily against Ben’s tympanic membranes all night seems to reach a fever pitch, nearly nauseating in the half light, before it shatters all at once with a broken wail.

“ _ Shit, _ ” Han hisses, raising his firearm in synch with Ben as a hunched figure comes bursting over the top of the stairs, eyes gone orange and useless with the fungus. JD and his men whip around, fingers scrabbling against indifferent metal as the once-human charges towards them, mouth flung open in a plaintive scream. It hits the man closest to the subway first, taking him to the ground, and before any of his compatriots can react with any form of action, four more follow from the shadows.

“Fuck fuck fuck,” Ben snarls, aiming a bullet carefully into the knee of the man most equidistant between them and JD. The poor son of a bitch goes down with a wail, and is instantly set upon by the pack. The other four men on the ground are firing desperately, and drawn by the wild sounds of gunfire and panic, another wail rises from the stairs just as Han shouts Ben’s name from across the street.

“C’mon kid.” He’s hanging on the bottom of a rickety fire escape. “Let’s go!” Ben scrambles up the ladder behind him, kicking it out and into the now infested street with a clatter that sends infected scuttling towards the base of the building they stand on top of. As Han slings the long barrel of his shotgun over one shoulder, Ben slides the magazine out of his .45 to double check that he does, in fact, have two more rounds before taking careful aim at JD in the street below.

“Shame it had to go this way,” Han calls down, face impassive as the last man left alive on the asphalt turns to face them with panic in his eyes and an empty pistol in his hands. His father raises one weathered hand in a mocking salute, and then Ben pulls the trigger.

The sun rises a few hours later, rose fingers kissing the sky as Han and Ben lay side by side on the roof of an old apartment complex. Ben replays the night’s events over and over in his head, bemoaning their loss of revenue, just as much as their wasted ammunition. Beside him his father is pensively silent, eyes focused on the sky where it’s still grey, yet untouched by the sun and it’s gently blushing light.

“Seems like we need to go find our lost merchandise, huh kid?” Han asks, idly spinning a spent cartridge between old fingers. Ben nods, gives the pistol at his thigh a reassuring pat, and rises to his feet.

“Seems like it, old man.”

The First Order is intentionally easy to find; paving an easily followed, albeit gruesome, path through the quarantine zone for any potential recruits. Ben bristles at it, hates the splash of red spray paint against ivy covered walls; _especially_ hates the bodies they find strung up every few feet, dog tags catching the midday sun like the wind chime his mother had hung in their kitchen window. It only takes them an uneventful day and a half to make it to the camp, an eerily efficient settlement built with its back to an impressively maintained brick wall (Ben wonders how frequently the maintenance teams must work to keep the crawling vines from undermining the integrity of it).

“Solo” Han gives by way of their name when they’re met at the entrance by a wary looking blonde woman who towers over both of them, bowie knife strapped to her hip. She raises pale eyebrows and nods, says nothing as she leads them through the open air portion of the camp and into what looks to have once been a warehouse. The Supreme Leader stares down his once-broken nose at them, cool eyes calculating as he lounges atop his throne of munitions crates.

“Ah, Boston’s least favorite pair of smugglers,” the pallid man smiles after a few seconds of careful observation (the gesture doesn’t quite reach his eyes). “Come to retrieve the weapons your poor excuse for a client sold to me?” Han inhales through his nose, and from his spot just a few steps behind the older man, Ben wishes desperately to curl his fingers around the grip of his pistol, stopped only by the laser that tracks on the back of his father’s neck.

“It’s almost like you read my mind, Hux,” Han cheerily rasps, canned joviality ringing falsely against mildewing brickwork like bird shot. Cicadas hum somewhere in the distance, filling Ben’s ears like the too-heavy silence that follows heavy gunfire while Hux tosses an appraising glance their way.

“It just so happens that you have something I need too,” he finally admits, leaping down from his ill-begotten throne with an agility that belied his drawn appearance. “There’s a rather  _ delicate _ package I need smuggled out of the quarantine zone.” Pale eyes narrow, flitting between the men in front of him. “And if you do it, I’m willing to pay you double for the guns.”

 

Han and Ben exchange a glance over the former’s shoulder, wary as Hux’s men step forward to usher them into a heavily armored vehicle, weapons holstered.

By the time they reach the safehouse, located just close enough to the water for the air to feel like wet cement in his lungs, it’s twilight, and the cicada buzz has risen to a dull roar that makes it almost impossible for Ben to think. Hux leads them inside, vanishes into a back room with no preamble, leaving Ben and Han to stand silently with only the guards and deafening cicada buzz for company. The seconds stretch out, turning into minutes, and when Hux reenters, Ben feels like entire  _ days  _ have passed. But all of that is chased from his mind at the sight of the figure who trails behind the Supreme Leader; a slight girl with carefully knotted brown hair and a fine dusting of freckles across high cheekbones. Her eyes are shadowed, heavy where they fall on the ground between small feet, Ben notes that she doesn’t look up when the man in charge of the First Order introduces her, one thin hand wrapping possessively around her upper arm.

“This is Rey.” Hux’s voice is low, the kind of rough that makes Ben’s hackles rise. “She’s your new merchandise.” Han shakes his head, folds sinewy arms over his chest adamantly. “We don’t deal in humans Hux, you know that.”

“This is  _ different, _ ” the General-turned-vigilante hisses, hand tightening around the girl’s bicep, sending both Solos bristling. “I cannot  _ possibly  _ explain to you how much this girl means to the human race.” Rey whimpers at the action, eyes darting up towards Ben, and he feels as if the air has been knocked out of his chest.

“We’ll do it,” he murmurs, wiping cool sweat off of his palm and onto the worn fabric of his pants. 

 

Hux gives a cold, reptilian grin as he releases the girl from his grip. “I’m glad to see at least one of you can make a reasonable decision.” Han’s fingers tighten dangerously at his sides, and Ben knows he’ll be getting an earful for this later, but as Hux begins to detail their drop point (the Capitol building), and who they’re looking for (a squad of four First Order operatives who will take Rey into custody to complete the run), Ben can’t bring himself to care. The cicada buzz that had dominated his awareness is gone now, replaced by the frantic drumbeat of blood in his ears as Rey studies him silently from across the room.

At first, aside from the wild beat of Ben’s heart, everything proceeds exactly according to plan. Han and Ben convince Hux to restock their ammunition, loading up magazines by the thready light of a single fluorescent bulb deep in the back portion of the safehouse. That night, he dreams of hazel eyes and clicking that crawls up his spine underneath the inescapable tide of cicada buzz. They leave the safehouse with no pomp or circumstance, just Han’s usual grumbling and the not quite silent footsteps of Rey behind them. She doesn’t say a word as they walk, just keeps her eyes on the ground in front of her feet and trudges along behind Han but in front of Ben. Neither of them try to strike up conversation, and by the time the sun has started to slowly descend from its apex, it’s no longer safe to consider as they draw up on the edge of quarantine zone. Ahead of them, Han’s shoulders slowly start to tense up towards his ears, and Ben also senses something low in the back of his head that doesn’t feel quite right. It’s not until the two Military Police have guns aimed at their chests that Ben is able to place his misgivings.

“Hands behind your head,” the man to their left barks, rifle trained at Han’s chest as his partner comes around their backs. “Knees on the ground.” Both Solos comply, twin expressions of barely suppressed irritation on their faces as the MP behind them draws quick blood samples; beside him Rey trembles, pupils pulled in tight as she stares at Ben, tries (and fails) not to recoil away from the gloved hands at her neck.

“Clean,” he affirms, first in regards to Han’s sample. Then a few seconds later, prompted by the beeping machine in his palm, to Ben’s. Both men stand, and Ben just barely has time to register the look of concern that colors the MP taking Rey’s readings face before the tiny girl is whirling up and around, thin fingers curled around a pipe to deal a swiftly fatal blow to the man standing behind her.

“ _ Fuck _ ,” his father growls, whips out his pistol before the other man before he has time to react, unflinching as he pulls the trigger with practiced ease. The body crumples atop dusty asphalt, and both men turn to face Rey, who’s standing perfectly still behind them, pipe still clutched in an offensive position.

“What the  _ fuck  _ was that?” Ben snarls, chest heaving as he holsters his handgun and sets about patting down the officer he’d shot for useful items. Han’s already doing the same with Rey’s downed officer, holds up a hand when he gets to the discarded probe.

“Ben,” he mumbles, voice tight in a way the younger Solo hasn’t heard before, “Come look at this.” There’s no sound but for Rey’s panicked breathing and the grass that whispers at their feet as father and son stare at the highest cordyceps reading either of them have ever seen, plainly laid out on the device’s weathered screen. When Ben raises his eyes to the woman across from them she’s close to tears, pipe forgotten and whole body trembling as dirty fingers unwrap the cloth that runs up her left arm.

“I’ve had it for three weeks,” she breathes, and Ben’s heart breaks even as every fiber in his body tells him to draw his weapon. “I swear I’m not lying.”

The unmistakable sound of military engines breaks the almost-silence, shattering the tension that had stretched out between Han, Ben, and the woman with a lurid bite against the pale skin of her forearm.

“Grab the girl,” his father growls, unlit Molotov in hand as he gestures at a subway station to their left. “We’ve got to go.”

“Hux thinks my condition might be the key to creating a vaccine,” Rey explains in a nearly silent whisper, lit only by what quivering light Ben’s muzzle bounces off the stagnant water they slosh through. His father nods, eyes the girl with a respect that hadn’t been there before, and Ben fights the urge to shake his head (he’ll believe it when he sees it).

Ben doesn’t notice the spores until it’s almost too late. They hang heavy in the air, stagnant this deep into the subway system, sending both men donning their gas masks with weary eyes. Rey watches them with her mouth pressed into a fine line that only lets up when Ben tries to hand her the mask he’d lifted out of JD’s base. Sickly in the unfocused light of his flashlight, Rey shakes her head, and like a bullet to the gut, Ben remembers the bite on her arm.

More unsettled than ever before, Ben follows Han down the tracks and into the spores, tries not to let his heart rate escalate too wildly when they dust across his cheeks and eyelashes. They walk for the better part of an hour through the dark, leaving spores eddying in their wake with every step, and slowly Ben feels his shoulders start to sink down from where they’d hiked nearly to his ears. It’s a premature response though, as in the next fifteen minutes the sloth of water over the tracks crescendos, far louder than it should have been for just three pairs of feet, and when they round the next ben, tracks opening up into a station, they’re face to face with five infected.

Ben draws his shiv, Han his bat, both reluctant to use gunfire in the cavernous room at the risk of drawing in even more targets (of hearing clicks bouncing off the damp brickwork to fill the room like a hail of bullets). The first one goes down without a fight, slumping into the ankle-deep water with little protest. Han’s first target is painless as well, and Ben has his knife between the second and third ribs of his next target when shit goes sideways. The one farthest from them, what used to be woman dressed in jeans and a t-shirt covered in scales of fungal growth charges Rey, howling as it tries to get a bite sunk into her neck, and Han hastily dispatches his target to beat it off of her.

“Alright kid,” he grunts, dropping the bogarted baseball bat in favor of pulling his .45, “get Rey onto the street. I’ll be right behind you.” Ben hates the plan, but obliges, boosting her up out of the tracks and onto the slick tile flooring as his father fires on the first runner. As it turns out, Ben and Rey hardly make it halfway up the stairs before Han joins them, flashing a crooked smile as they break out of the damp, subterranean air and into the sunset.

“Nice work, you two.” He grins, patting Ben on the shoulder and giving Rey a wink as he turns to face the Capitol building, looming starkly ahead of them.

Their little party picks across the fractured landscape through the night, silent save for the occasional sound of Rey’s footing (she’s been watching how they walk, Ben can tell by the way he only hears her footfall every few steps now as opposed to with every stride). By the time they’re walking up the wide, granite steps, Han’s looking pale, and Ben can hardly blame him. It’s obvious from the still bright blood that mars the steps beneath their feet that  _ something  _ has gone horribly wrong here in the last twelve or so hours. Rey’s looking nervous, one hand on her arm and the other clenching a shiv she’d pulled off a body a few hours back as she trails a few paces behind the two Solos.

Ben feels his stomach sink all the way to the polished floor when they step through shattered glass doors and into the foyer. The interior is littered with bodies, strewn across the floor with their First Order pendants glittering indifferently up in the weak morning sun.

“Shit,” Ben breathes, rubs a hand over his face as he toes an unmarked body over to see the tell-tale orange around the eyes,   _ infected _ . Han is crouched over one of the First Order operatives, patting down pockets in search of anything at all that could help; he finds a hastily drawn map, detailing a tunnel that leads out of the city from the building’s basement, hands it over to Ben and Rey with a tight eyed stare. There’s no way these carcasses aren’t their contacts, and Ben can already feel the weight of a run not completed settling hard in his stomach when the rumbling begins. All three of them freeze, turning to face the doorway behind them as Ben and Han both reach for their firearms.

“We need to go,” the youngest Solo begins, glancing between his father, almost at the doors, and Rey, knuckles white around the shiv behind him. “That’s military, which means there are troops on the ground, and there’s no way Rey’s going to pass a CBI.” The plane’s engines scream above them, and Ben can almost imagine the soldiers as they track their trail through the broken cityscape. Han turns slowly, back to the door as he regards Ben with wise eyes before flicking them over to Rey. He swallows, scratches the back of his neck once, and turns back to stare at his son with unbearably sad eyes. They can hear the soldiers now, boot falls beating a wild crescendo as Han takes a step in and away from the doors; dirty fingers steady where they roll his right hand shirtsleeve up.

“Go, take her to Finn.” Ben thinks he’s about to throw up, eyes wide as they study the bite that blooms against his father’s tanned skin. “He’ll know how to get her to them.” Han closes the distance between them and reaches up with his uninfected hand to cup his son’s face. “Be safe, kiddo.”

Carpenter ants stream over the wall behind his father’s head, frantic as they run towards a gaping crack in the ceiling in their attempt to escape the engines and boot falls that now shake the ground beneath them. Ben’s having trouble focusing on anything other than the way his throat burns when Han gives him a weak smile and turns to face the too-wide double doors, pistol in one hand, and the other raised in an easy salute.

“Good luck you two.” Ben barely registers Rey’s hand curling around his wrist, pulling him back towards the tunnel and away from Han as the sound of boots falling violently crescendos.

The last time Ben Solo sees his father, he’s chambering the shotgun Ben had helped him build, about to face down an entire battalion with little more than guts and pluck.
